There was an inch or so of snow on the ground this morning, but most of it had melted by the afternoon (42 °F /6 °C).

I ventured out of the house to get a little sun today, even though the high was barely above freezing (34°F/ 1°C).
These pictures are from Volunteer Park.
There was fine hail on the deck at my house this morning, and a little more came down early in the evening.
Happy Friday.
Here’s a picture with a report from the Anchorage Police Dept. that was posted on Facebook earlier this week.
The groundhog from Pennsylvania says there will be 6 more weeks of winter. (Of course there will be, looking at the weather map).
The 51 °F (11 °C ) and calm weather we had here in the city today felt almost balmy, though. I walked back to Capitol Hill from downtown, after taking the No 10 bus to get there.
It’s a challenge to go for a run outside, or to play sport outdoors in the Pacific Northwest winter.
When it’s clear and dry, it may be too cold.
When it’s cloudy and milder, it may be raining.
There’s always skiing and snowboarding in the mountains, of course.
There’s a little snow on the way this weekend for the low-lying areas around Puget Sound, say the meteorologists.
I tagged along with Bryan for a trip to Hansville, today.
We drove south and around Puget Sound to get to the Kitsap Peninsula, and then took the ferry from the Bainbridge Island Terminal to get back to Seattle.
Sunlight and heat were in short supply today (the high 38 °F/ 3°C), but I ventured out for a short walk before it was completely dark.
Parts of the city of Seattle had a little snow on the ground on Tuesday morning (the first of the season), and there was more on Tuesday night.
Rain and a 4°C high melted most of the snow today, but there may be more snow tonight, and during the next day or two.
It was another day with nary a cloud in the sky.
The day’s high (47 °F / 8 °C) permitted outside activity, and the amigos were at it, on the Mount Baker pickle ball courts.
